Work in clubhouse
The pitch is not the only thing being updated in the club as we are currently undergoing refurbishments within the clubhouse! New toilets and radiators have been fitted, while the walls are plastered and ready for paint! New lights and carpet will also be installed, as will new furniture. Between it all, there is plenty of reason to look forward to the return of the season already as we aim to ensure the facilities and environment of our club continue to be some of the best in the country.
Internationals
Well done to Mitch Darling and Stephen West who are currently away with the Senior Mens team in Spain. They are part of a 20 man squad taking part in a 4 nations tournament along with Spain, Russia and Wales.
So far the lads have beaten both Russia (5-3) and Wales (1-0) and are due to play hosts Spain on Friday. Best of luck in the last game guys

School Books
Opening Minds Educational is offering members a chance to give 5% of the purchase of their childrens schoolbooks, back to Three Rock Rovers.
Opening minds have been supplying schoolbooks in the Ballinteer area for over 16 years, previously trading as Wise Owl. They have devised a scheme whereby local clubs and societies can earn 5% cash back on all purchases made by club members in their branch in Supervalu Ballinteer
All that is required from the club is that all members are asked to purchase their school books in opening minds so that a rebate can be paid to the club. When making a purchase the member should mention the scheme and obtain a duplicate receipt which is returned to the club. At the end of September the club will add up the receipts and inform Opening Minds of the total spent by club members in Opening Minds Ballinteer.
They will then pay 5% in cash of that total to the club. For example, 100 members spend €100 each on schoolbooks in Opening Minds Ballinteer over the summer of 2014. That equals a total spend of €10,000, €500 of which will be rebated to the club.
Their schoolbook prices are the same as in any other shop and they also sell and purchase second-hand school books.
